Trace ‘n Chase had the incredible honor of joining forces with Slam Dunk store, a basketball specialty brand that launched its first shop in the vibrant downtown area of Thessaloniki during the first week of June. As basketball enthusiasts ourselves, we couldn’t miss the opportunity to be a part of this celebration of hoops culture, and we made sure to bring our passion for sports cards and memorabilia along for the ride!
A Grand Opening with a Twist
The energy at Slam Dunk’s grand opening was electric, and we were thrilled to bring our own unique twist to the event by organizing a *Knockout Challenge Tournament* for kids and adults alike. The Knockout Challenge, a fun and fast-paced basketball game, brought together participants of all ages, from budding young basketball fans to seasoned players eager to showcase their skills.
The atmosphere was filled with laughter, cheers, and some fierce competition as players went head-to-head, aiming to outshoot their opponents and claim victory. It was incredible to see the local community come together for a day full of fun, friendly rivalry, and basketball love!
Handing Out the Goodies: Repacks and Sports Cards Galore!
Trace ‘n Chase always comes prepared with something special for our community. To add a little more excitement to the Knockout Challenge, we handed out our meticulously repacks of NBA cards from Panini America to every participant. These packs, curated by our team, contained a mix of modern and vintage cards, with some hidden gems for lucky fans to discover!
But the real highlight of the day? The grand prizes for the winners including Panini Donruss Basketball 2023/24 Fat Pack! The look of pure joy on their faces was priceless, and it reminded us why we do what we do — sharing our love for sports and collecting with passionate fans and creating memorable moments for all!
